Artificial Intelligence is Shaping the Future
At a pivotal historical moment, where digital transformation is accelerating to shape an entirely new world, artificial intelligence (AI) stands tall as a formidable force reshaping the rules across all domains of life, business, and governance. No longer just a complex technical concept or a tool limited to specialists, AI has become a key driver of innovation, efficiency, and a critical competitive edge.
At the heart of this massive transformation lies the urgent need for exceptional leadership—leaders who don’t merely keep pace but possess the vision, tools, and knowledge to anticipate future horizons, shape new pathways, and harness the vast potential of AI to serve both institutional and national development goals, including ambitious visions like Saudi Vision 2030.
From this perspective, the importance of the “Artificial Intelligence for Leaders and Decision-Makers” program becomes evident. Launched by Renad Al Majd (RMG)—a pioneering company in providing innovative solutions and consultancy, and a trusted strategic partner to leading institutions across the Kingdom and the region—the program served as a golden gateway, enabling leaders to navigate the AI-driven digital transformation journey with success.
Day One: Strategic Vision-Building and Elite Engagement
Held on May 4–5, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in the heart of Riyadh, the program kicked off with a strong and dynamic start. The opening day, Sunday, May 4, witnessed remarkable intellectual engagement and exceptional interaction. It brought together a select group of leaders, executives, and decision-makers from various vital sectors, in addition to high-profile attendance and valuable contributions from numerous key government entities.
This elite presence underscored the Kingdom’s unwavering commitment to digital transformation and the adoption of future technologies at every level of governance and business.
Led by Eng. Fayyad Bayan, a renowned expert in digital transformation and artificial intelligence, Day One focused on building a solid foundational understanding of AI for leaders and decision-makers. The day began with an introduction that positioned AI as a transformative force, demystifying the technology and revealing its vast potential—not just in automation, but as a strategic catalyst reshaping business models and decision-making processes.
Participants were equipped with intelligent tools to drive data-powered growth—a vital concept that hinges on the ability to extract insights and value from big data for well-informed, precise decisions. A central theme covered by Eng. Fayyad was setting SMART goals aligned with the demands of the digital age and the strategic use of AI to prioritize and direct institutional efforts.
Additionally, he explored how to effectively measure performance using AI-powered Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), providing leaders with dynamic, real-time dashboards to monitor progress and take corrective actions proactively.
Eng. Fayyad’s approach stood out for its ability to simplify complex technical concepts and relate them directly to the real-world challenges and opportunities leaders face. This made the content highly digestible, applicable, and stimulated active engagement from participants.
Exceptional Engagement: Leaders and Government Officials at the Forefront
Throughout the two-day program, the extraordinary interaction between participants, the presenter, and the RMG team was a defining feature of its success. The program went beyond traditional lectures, transforming the sessions into interactive workshops and collaborative environments rich with discussion and knowledge exchange.
Leaders and representatives from government agencies posed thoughtful, in-depth questions that reflected their keen interest in how AI could be applied in their respective sectors. Their active participation enriched the conversations by linking theoretical frameworks to real-world challenges and opportunities, deepening the collective understanding of this technological revolution and its impact on leadership and decision-making in the Kingdom.
This strong presence and participation confirmed a clear realization among government leaders: empowering leadership in AI is not a luxury—it is a cornerstone for realizing the ambitious objectives of Vision 2030, diversifying the economy, and building a sustainable, knowledge-driven future.
The engagement extended beyond discussions into hands-on experience with advanced AI technologies and virtual reality (VR) solutions showcased by RMG. These innovative tech demonstrations allowed participants to explore how AI can serve as a strategic enabler of decision-making and institutional excellence. Attendees responded with great enthusiasm, exploring how these tools could be adapted to their operational environments—adding a critical practical dimension to their understanding of AI’s real-world possibilities.
The atmosphere across the two days was marked by enthusiasm, focus, and a genuine eagerness to learn—demonstrating participants’ readiness to embrace change and lead their organizations into the AI-powered future.
Day Two: From Theory to Practical Application and Future Mapping
The second and final day of the program marked a critical shift from strategic understanding to actionable execution. Continuing his leadership, Eng. Fayyad Bayan provided detailed explanations and practical guidance on how to turn knowledge into reality.
Key topics included a deep dive into the ACADIC methodology for AI integration and how to seamlessly apply it within various organizational environments. Participants also learned foundational principles for successfully managing and implementing AI projects, including overcoming common challenges.
The day culminated in a pivotal hands-on workshop. Under the direct guidance of Eng. Fayyad and the RMG team, participants focused on crafting tailored AI adoption roadmaps for their respective organizations. This session marked the culmination of their learning journey—enabling each leader to transform insights and strategies into a concrete, actionable plan, customized to meet the unique needs and challenges of their institutional environments.
Having an expert of Eng. Fayyad Bayan’s caliber guiding this stage ensured that participants left the program not just with theoretical knowledge, but with real, implementable plans to launch their AI adoption journeys.
